Color Coordinated: Past in the Present, Dining Room

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We’re bringing you a soft and chic color palette this morning from Little Rock designer Debi Davis. In our new October issue she shares her own home with us, which is filled with European-antique-inspired furnishings that fill the home with a sense of history and character. Before Davis moved in, the dining room, shown above, was orange Venetian plaster. Davis has personalized the home by bringing in her signature delicate color palette of creams and whites. “I never want one piece—either a rug or piece of furniture or art—to be too heavy,” says Davis. “This way the eye keeps moving around the room.” See more of Davis’ home–and her Reborn Relics line of furniture and accessories–in the October feature online here or find a copy on newsstands.

Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend. Today we’re getting our inspiration from designer Courtney Stone’s recent renovation of her parents’ El Dorado kitchen. Stone, a designer with Sydney Murphy Design in downtown El Dorado, grew up in this 1927 colonial-style home; she therefore knows the space and understands that changes must occur to continue to accommodate her parents’ needs. To encourage the marriage of old and new, Stone incorporated rich woods into the new modern white palette with wood cabinetry in the kitchen, as well as in the wood-grain porcelain floor tiles. For added color, Stone brought in a yellow, gray, and white ikat fabric on the upholstered furniture in the built-in desk area (seen here) and also in the attached seating area. Find the full story online here, or grab a copy of the September “Kitchen & Bath” issue on newsstands now.

Good morning! We’re cooking up a delicious color palette this morning, all inspired from this beautiful (and oh-so-tasty) tablescape from Euna Mae’s Heirloom Kitchen & Home Goods in Springdale. As seen in our all-new September “Kitchen & Bath” issue, this pretty breakfast table is made up of lots of goodies from Bonnie’s Jams small-batch preserves and Callie’s Charleston Biscuits to the American-made reproduction jadeite salt-and-pepper shakers, which we are swooning over. The colors run the gamut, but we’re picking out our favorites. And, there’s more vintage-inspired finds to keep you at the breakfast table a little longer in our September “Style” section. Click here to read the full story or find a copy of the new September issue on newsstands. Want even more? Scroll down to find our inspiration board below, which includes a mix of images and paint colors we gathered from around the web, all inspired by our sweet and savory breakfast at Euna Mae’s.

We hope you had a great weekend! With this wonderful, late-summer weather, we’re getting inspired by the outdoor space that designer Amber Doggett shares with her husband and her four children. You can tour the interior of the home in the August issue, but at this time of year, Doggett says the family spends most of their time in the home’s outdoor living spaces. In the covered patio, she adds various delicate shades of blue to the neutral palette to bring in a little extra color. Doesn’t it look like a perfect place to spend time with family and friends?Click here to read the full story and see the rest of Doggett’s home, or find a copy of the August issue on newsstands. Or scroll down to see how the color palette of this serene outdoor space inspired us. You’ll find our inspiration board below, which includes a mix of images and paint colors we gathered from around the web. What’s your #1 must-have item for your own outdoor living space?

Color Coordinated: In With the Old and New

Pink, blue, and a touch of gold come together to bring us today’s color palette. Fresh azaleas, clipped from Anna Dickinson’s yard, add a burst of color in her newly renovated cottage. Dickinson, owner of White Goat in Little Rock’s Heights neighborhood, called upon Chris Milligan of Dwellings, Inc. to rework the structure and floor plan of her home. The line between old and new is blurred and the space is filled with vintage treasures, all working together to bring this space lots of character and unique style.

Color Coordinated: Garden of Relics

In our July issue, Little Rock artist Rebecca Thompson shares her vintage architectural elements she has collected. With an outdoor space this beautiful, we thought it would be the perfect color inspiration for today. This vignette offers a soft, natural palette that can translate to any space. The lavender color is so subtle, yet makes such an impact and the gray antique bench is the perfect accent among the dark greenery. Throughout her garden you’ll find vintage statues, finials, tools, benches, chimney pots, planters, and keystones—anything with a back story or bit of history to bring architectural interest to her garden. “I love mystery and the story behind all of these pieces,” she says. Where do you find your color inspiration? Read the full story online or you can find a copy of the July issue on newsstands now.

Color Coordinated: European Union

At Home in Arkansas blog | 2 June 2014 | Color Coordinated: European Union

Happy summer! After a rainy weekend, we thought this bright and sunny poolside palette would cheer up your Monday. Sisters and designers, Mona Thompson and Talena Ray of Providence Design give the Bottins a one-of-a-kind home with European flair right here in West Little Rock. We will be sharing more of the interiors throughout the month, so let’s get back to the pool. Staggered flagstone pavers in the dining porch and around the pool blend with nature, while the pool’s deep aqua color was inspired by a resort pool the Bottins spotted on vacation. Teak furniture is topped with neutral cushions, while a muted yellow umbrella ties the space to the interiors. Read the full story online here or find a copy of the new June issue on newsstands.
